Moving in Ladner: what to know
Ladner is Delta's village community on the south arm of the Fraser River, and it is mostly houses. In the 2021 Census, Statistics Canada's Ladner population centre had about 23,000 people in 9,030 homes: 53% were single-detached houses, 19% low-rise apartments and 10% row houses. Only about one household in five rents (21%), and about one resident in ten had moved in the year before.
Around the village centre are heritage homes on narrower streets, then family houses and townhomes, then farmland at the edges. Garages and sheds are common, so it pays to decide what's coming with you and what isn't before moving day.

What every Ladner move includes
- Moving blankets and plastic wrap for furniture, dollies and straps for heavy pieces, and floor protection.
- Beds, tables and other furniture taken apart where needed and put back together at the new place.
- A crew sized to your home: usually 2 movers for a studio or one-bedroom, 3 for two or three bedrooms, and 4 for larger homes.
- No travel fee, and no extra charge for stairs, a long carry or a building without an elevator.
- Moves 7 days a week. A few days' notice is usually enough.
- Boxes and supplies for sale: cardboard and wardrobe boxes, mattress and TV covers, tape, packing paper and bubble wrap.
- Storage if there's a gap between moving out and moving in.
- Anything you're not taking hauled away in the same booking.
As a rough guide, a one-bedroom move takes 3 to 4 hours, a two-bedroom 4 to 6 hours and a three-bedroom 6 to 9 hours. If you need to cancel a booked move, the deposit isn't refunded, but it can be moved to a new date.
Condo moves: you book the elevator and loading bay with your building. If your strata charges a fee for the move, BC's Strata Property Regulation allows a fee for using common property only when it is reasonable and set out in a bylaw or a ratified rule (section 6.9, checked 1 October 2026).
Parking the moving truck in Ladner
Ladner runs on the City of Delta's rules. Delta's Highway Use Permit covers work within the road, including storage bins placed on the road, so if you're using a moving or storage container, ask Delta Engineering (604-946-3260) first. Around the village centre the streets are narrower; tell us where a truck can legally stop.
Westham Island is reached by its own bridge. During bridge work in 2023, the City asked island residents to have their waste out by 7 a.m., ahead of daytime closures. If you're on the island, tell us, so we can plan around the bridge.
Before moving day in Ladner
- Decide what's coming from the garage and the shed, and tell us before moving day.
- On a narrower village street, tell us where a truck can stop.
- Clearing out first? Delta's Large Item Pick-Up takes up to four items a year from households on City curbside collection: book with Remple Disposal at (604) 835-1792.
- Ladner's Spring Clean-Up, the City's once-a-year extra curbside pick-up, was on March 31 in 2026; check the City's page for next year's date.
- On Westham Island or a farm property, mention the bridge, gravel lanes and outbuildings when you book.
Moving to or from Ladner
Ladner sits just south of the George Massey Tunnel. Moves to or from Richmond and Vancouver go through it, or around by the Alex Fraser Bridge for taller vehicles, because the tunnel has a posted height restriction. Peak crossings are slow, so we schedule around tunnel traffic; timing affects how long an hourly move takes, not the price. Tsawwassen and North Delta are short drives (movers in Tsawwassen, movers in Delta). Local moves are priced by the size of the home, as the table above shows, with no travel fee.
We also move households within BC and to Alberta. Long-distance moves within BC currently run $2,000 to $9,000, and moves to Alberta $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of the home and the distance.

How much do movers cost in Ladner?
Ladner moves are mostly family houses and townhomes, and they're priced by the size of the home. A studio or one-bedroom move is a flat $599, and a 20% deposit ($120) books the date.

Does the Massey Tunnel affect a move from Ladner?
For moves toward Richmond and Vancouver, yes: peak crossings are slow, and taller vehicles go around by the Alex Fraser Bridge. We schedule around tunnel traffic; it changes how long an hourly move takes, not the rate.
Do you move to and from Westham Island?
Yes. Tell us when you book, so we can plan around the island's bridge.
Do you move farm properties around Ladner?
Yes. Tell us how far the sheds or barns are from where the truck can park, and whether the lane is gravel, so we bring the right vehicle.
Do you move from Ladner to the Interior or Alberta?
